NVC pending interview date

[amesa 9]

Ok, it's my time to post a rant.

I totally hate this immigration process. I hate how it keeps my husband and I apart with weeks and months of unsurety of what is going to happen and when. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!!!

I submitted my AOS packet to the NVC in early February. It was reviewed and processed in about 3 weeks. Hubby didn't get his paperowrk to me on time, so that was sent in to the NVC on 2/26 and it arrived on the 28th...I have the freaking green receipt card proving it.

I have been patiently waiting all this month of March...calling about once or twice a week after the 15th...everyone telling me that the NVC is pending receipt of the IV packet and I kept telling them that is was delivered on 2/28...I just called again this morning and some nasty guy answered the phone and told me that the case was updated on Friday, 3/25...that they now have 'received' the IV packet and that we need to wait 15-20 business days!!!

I ALREADY WAITED THE FREAKING 15-20 BUSINESS DAYS!!!

Why do they do this to us??? I mean, good grief...I see all these people just easing their way through the NVC and they have to cause me issues when I have submitted everything they wanted with the proper cover sheets, I have paid all of the stupid fees...and they are making me wait longer.

I guess just because USCIS approves the petition doesn't mean everything else is smooth sailing...

I cannot wait until this nightmare is OVER!!! UGH!!! What a great way to start the week. You can guarantee that I will be calling them every freaking morning and every night until this gets completed with an interview date.

It will totally be updated and your case complete soon. The standard answer is 15-20 business days and it will most likely be A LOT quicker AND...the good thing is that interview dates for the DR are coming with only about a 6 week wait time so...start compiling your interview stuff...it's going to be here soon!

Keep the faith. You will get through this

Thanks...I called the NVC last night and they told me that our case file was completed on the 28th. HOWEVER, there were no more available interview slots at the embassy in the DR until May and they are waiting for information from the embassy in order to proceed. So again, we are in limbo.

My nerves are completely frazzled. I seriously need a vacation.

o more available interview slots at the embassy in the DR until May

this is normal - the 'scheduling week' always schedules for the NEXT MONTH - never 'this' month.

Relax you.

To kill some time, make some new friends, come join a NVC March 2011 forum, read all (including my lists and links) and join in with the others - it's a swell place to commisserate and share info.
